On top of going to the dentist and drinking fluorinated water, brushing my teeth with toothpaste really helps to keep my teeth clean and in great shape. All of the minerals found in toothpaste work together to do just what I need to take good care of my teeth. So, that’s how and why toothpaste is a very big help in my everyday life of taking care of my teeth.

creams/ lotions: There are many different minerals used in many different lotions, but here are just to name a few. Borax and beeswax are commonly used as a mixture in creams and lotions to keep the oil and water together. If these weren’t added in, creams and lotions would be separated due to density.
